The Love of Reading: A Conversation with [Name]

As I sat down to talk with [Name], I couldn't help but notice their excitement about reading. "I've always been into reading," they said, "and I was like 'NOP' when did you get into reading at a very young age?" It turned out that [Name] had started reading in middle school and elementary school, where they would have to read certain books and fill them out on the computer.

For [Name], reading is a passion that has always been a part of their life. "I've always been into reading what's your favorite classic book?" I asked. Their response was immediate: "The Great Gats Beast by Scott Fitz Gerald and I really love Great Expectations by Charles Dickens." It's clear that [Name] has a deep appreciation for literature, particularly classic novels.

When it comes to their academic background, [Name] confesses that they were always strong in arts and English. "I dominated those two," they said with a smile. However, science and math were not their forte. "They say left-brained and people like us are more creative and not that smart on the science and math side," they explained. It's refreshing to hear someone being so honest about their strengths and weaknesses.

One of our conversations turned to books that [Name] has received in the past, only to have hated them. "I'm going to be honest with you I would totally trade that in and get another book," they said without hesitation. We discussed some popular young adult series, including Harry Potter and The Hunger Games, but [Name] was still struggling to come up with a specific title that fits the bill.

When it comes to habits, [Name] admits to having a tendency to ramble while filming. "It's very hard for me to focus for this camera because it's hooked up to a monitor and I can't tell if it's Focus or sometimes so sometimes the video when I'm editing I'm just like this am I in Focus like you'll see I'm not in Focus," they joked.

Another quirk of [Name] is their tendency to stop talking and think for long periods of time. "Sometimes I will just stop talking and just think for a good while and I that's not cool," they confessed. It's a refreshing honesty, even if it can be a bit awkward at times.

As we wrapped up our conversation, [Name] shared their favorite words with me. They love the word "lovely" and find it to be "a pretty word." They also appreciate the word "graceful," which they think is "pretty." But what really stands out is their affection for the word "splendor," which they describe as "a pretty word."

Finally, we talked about [Name]'s identity and how they categorize themselves. When asked if they were a nerd, dork, or dweeb, they laughingly replied, "I've always called myself a geek." They recognize that these labels can be limiting and prefer to create their own category: simply being who they are.

As our conversation came to a close, [Name] shared one final insight about love triangles. While they enjoy reading romance novels, they also appreciate books with action-packed plots and few romantic scenes mixed in. "I think that makes a girl satisfied," they said with a smile.

The final question of the day was whether [Name] prefers full-on romance books or action-packed books with little to no romance. Their response was nuanced: while they love reading about romance, they also enjoy adventure books that balance out the love scenes. They cited The Hunger Games and Divergent as examples of series that do this well.

And so our conversation came to an end. As [Name] departed, I couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude for their openness and honesty. It's not often that we get to see someone be so genuine about their thoughts and feelings. "I will talk to you guys later," they said with a wave, "probably in a different setting." And with that, the door closed on our conversation, leaving us to ponder the many fascinating aspects of [Name]'s personality.
